Week #17 January 6-10, 2014

Classes resumed on Tuesday, January 7. We started the week with an advocacy meeting where you received your schedules. After which, we met in class and responded to Elie Wiesel's Night anticipation guide. We also began reading the historical background for the memoir. 

On Wednesday, we finished reading the historical background and you took an open notes quiz, which some of you ACED! Yey!

On Thursday, some classes (except 1st and 2nd periods) were able to start reading the memoir after viewing a PowerPoint presentation about memoir, scapegoat, stereotype, and prejudice. 

On Friday, students read an excerpt from Black Boy by Richard Wright and answered questions.  7th period had an extra article to read: "Scapegoat."
